Castellano

Aims of the Project

In the present project a triple objective is defined:

1: Characterise, quantify and represent land use changes in the Spanish network of national parks and their hinterland since 1990.

2: Modelling and mapping of land use dynamics and forecasting to a 25-30 year horizon in the national parks network through different scenarios based on environmental conditions (climate change amongst others) and socio-political restrictions relating to the management and use of the parks.

3: Establish participatory processes with the key national parks network stakeholders and target population to permit the appropriate development and implementation of decision support tools in the management and conservation of the parks and their hinterland.
